It' not only pure cinematic eye-candy, it's also profound in its telling of the fantastic story. It's the best FRANKENSTAIN film. Guillermo del Toro was driven to do it since he was a child as he has said in recent interviews.

A major goof in

ＴＨＥ ＫＩＬＬＩＮＧ （１９５６）

During the robbery, the money is in neatly banded bundles of crisp, brand-new bills, but when it's transferred from the duffel bag to the suitcase, all the bills are loose & well-used.

I’ve always thought that was a whole lot of carnage for so few gunshots. #FilmNoirClub #TheKilling #Noirvember

The parking lot attendant is played by James Edwards (1918 - 1970) - whom noir fans will recognize from "The Setup"
Ok. Let's all go "red lightennning"

Timothy Carey was such a character. To quote Eddie Muller: "his crazy switch has no *off* position."
.. and naturally Nikiki is done in by the lucky horse shoe! 😅

Is one of Guillermo del Toro's top ten favorite films. That's saying something.

Make sure you see del Toro's masterpiece

FRANKENSTEIN (2025)

“The Killing” (1956) is based on the 1955 novel “Clean Break” by Lionel White AKA L.W. Blanco. You can listen to a free audiobook of it here (archive.org/details/clea...)

Sterling Hayden was paid $40,000 for the lead role of Johnny Clay &
Stanley Kubrick took no fee.

Jack Palance & Victor Mature were both considered for the part.
Do you think either of them would've been better?

Was a huge influence on other non-linear films like RESERVOIR DOGS (1992) &
PULP FICTION (1994)

From Pharos of Chaos (1983), I also learned that Sterling Hayden wrote

Voyage: A Novel of 1896 (1976)

Which I am looking forward to reading soon.
